The Look for Roxette at Fanshop BUY
Vixzter said on November 21, 2002 07:01:
mmmm the only things I’ve ever seen on ebay that are illegal are bootlegs of live recordings.
Its true you can get things on ebay that are cheaper but they are only cheaper after about 3 months or so....after everyone who wants a copy so bad has got one.
I’ve ordered from the FC because I have been assured my items will arrive and I thought I’d test the theory out ;) plus....I want the book as soon as possible...it’s also cheaper and so’s postage.
I sit and wait....please don’t disapoint me FC ;)
SolensVaen said on November 19, 2002 20:56:
OH MY GOD!!!! Couldn’t you tell me this earlier???? ;o( Now I have orderd the book already and I won’t get a photo of the FC! And I have to pay sooo much more!!! *argh*
llounge said on November 19, 2002 21:05:
@SolensVaen: Sorry, konnte ich nicht wissen. Hab gerade die Infomail bekommen. Hab‘s natürlich auch gleich bestellt. Mal sehen, was das für ein Foto ist. Vielleicht kriegst es ja von mir. wenn wir uns nächstes Mal treffen. Also, nicht ärgern. Gruß
SolensVaen said on November 19, 2002 21:12:
@llounge: Ist ja nicht deine Schuld! Hätts ja bloß erwarten müssen und nicht gleich losmachen und bestellen! So bin ich halt!
Ja, das mit dem Foto wär cool! Treffen auch!!! :))) Ganz lieben Gruß!!!
SolensVaen said on November 19, 2002 21:13:
Na toll, JETZT, vor 5 Minuten, ja, da hat mir das der FC auch erzählt! Der hätte sich ja wirklich schicken können! ;o)

Must you start talking in German in every topic? Please keep discussions that started in English in the same language. Thank you.
llounge said on November 19, 2002 21:23:
Sorry, but it was between friends and only for this one. But you can talk englsh, of course.
SolensVaen said on November 19, 2002 21:37:
Oooops, sorry!
It’s true, some friend’s things about the Rox-book, nothing to worry about!
Now we will all be nice and just talk English! :)
Vixzter said on November 20, 2002 06:35:
And whereabouts on the site is it? I just signed in and I can’t find it.
Ah....its ok.......I’m blind! :P
Vixzter said on November 20, 2002 06:40:
I knew there was a reason I should never have got a credit card! :P
Speedo said on November 20, 2002 08:07:
Thank God I read this message in time!!! I had already pre-ordered the book at Premium Publishing and I had asked for their payment methods. Indeed, they ask 21 EUR for shipping and 43 EUR for the book and you have to send the whole amount in cash (!) by registered mail, which makes it even more expensive. But the good thing is, that you pay first and then get the book. If you don’t pay, you don’t get the book.
Well, I just sent a mail back saying that all this high sipping costs a.s.o. are too expensive and risky for me and I cancelled my order and now I ordered it at the Fanshop. I wonder what Premium Publishing’s reaction will be.
josefin said on November 20, 2002 08:28:
@ Speedo
I could copy paste your message, I also pre-ordered the book, got an e-mail about payment methods, wondered for two days what to do ... then read the fanclub e-mail this morning and right away cancelled the order to the Premium Publishing! ;)
Speedo said on November 20, 2002 09:44:
@ Josefin
You’re absolutely right! I wonder what those people at Premium Publishing will think, after all those cancellations!
I just got a reply from Premium Publishing which said:
“Your order is cancelled. No problems.”
I’m so happy!!!!!!!

I got the same reply from Premium Publishing :-)
Placed my order at the fanshop already!
PerFanatic said on November 20, 2002 17:41:
Yeah, with that ridiculous shipping cost and no on-line payment options, I don’t think they really expect to sell much outside of Scandinavia anyway:)
colinvdbel (moderator) said on November 20, 2002 18:54:
We, the R.F.O. (Roxette Fan Organisation), are going to sell the book. We make no profit, and get the books directly from the publisher. All books that are bought with us will be signed by the author (the books at the Fanshop are not). Also, we’ll make sure all books are delivered before christmas! Our site is still ’under contruction’, but will be launched completely very soon. The URL is: http://www.trfo.tk All of the books ordered with us will include the EP. Please e-mail me if you have any questions. (BTW, you can pay by means of bank transfer)
m-cvk said on November 20, 2002 19:04:
The book from the FC will also include the EP (it’s the first edition...) and why do we need the signature from the author? I’d rather have Per’s and/or Marie’s signature...
Nice to have some more “shopping” places though.
colinvdbel (moderator) said on November 20, 2002 19:06:
Well, we quarantee delivery before christmas, where many ppl always complain about the Fanshop delivering far too late or not at all
m-cvk said on November 20, 2002 20:18:
@Colin: and what about the price (including postage, in Holland?)?
Groetjes,
MC
Jud (moderator) said on November 20, 2002 20:25:
Colin what’s the price of the book and postage to other countries.. EU, US, etc?
colinvdbel (moderator) said on November 20, 2002 20:30:
We don’t know the exact price yet, but it wont be expensive, because we get the books directly from the author and we (nor the author) make any profit. If you live in Holland, you can even come and pick the book up in Utrecht if you have an Ov or something. We’ll announce price as soon as we know...within the next 2 days i guess
LittleGirl78 said on November 20, 2002 20:35:
@collin: without a price I should order by you?
this a joke, why on the end you will 60EUR and this to expensive.
I have order at the Fanshop and the price was OK.
The risk is me to high for order from you.
ltyh89 said on November 20, 2002 20:43:
We has sent the total money $ 203 with shipping too, to Premium Publishing for The Look Of Roxette book and Ep included. Insurance airmail. We are very happy and we can’t wait it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Iujuuuuuy!!!
ltyh89 said on November 20, 2002 20:51:
Ah! We are four persons. 4 Book $172 + 31= $ 203.
shipping insuarance included.
alchemiste said on November 20, 2002 20:51:
The Fanclub doesn´t make profit either OF COURSE...
but until now there was no need to stress this! :-)
Of course the EP is included...
And you´ll have a hard time finding lower postage rates than ours (8 Euro).
Have fun ordering: http://www.roxettedirect.com/
kibkalo said on November 20, 2002 21:04:
alchemisty - have FUN with YOUR FC yourself.
You lied to us too many times to beleive more!
You too often lose fan’s money, items are undelivered, or late for half a year.
And of course - NO PROFIT - look for a DVD price and compare to EBay prices - for FuckClub price I may get two DVDs!!!
alchemiste said on November 20, 2002 21:13:
@kibkalo
Since you´re getting this on a very personal level, I´ve already sent you an e-mail to discuss this with you.
I´m always willing to reply to critics, comments and questions unless someone gets personal like you do.
Short reply to the ridiculous eBay comment:
Our items are brand new, we deliver them for sure, and of course we only sell originals. There you go, hence the price. Feel free to get an illegal copy of a DVD that has been used already if you´re feeling better then.
tevensso (moderator) said on November 21, 2002 07:16:
DVDs on E-bay are rarely illegal copies, or used for that matter. At least when it comes to this particular DVD.
imazombieinthem... said on November 21, 2002 09:16:
@ alchemiste - I live in Australia and its telling me shipping is 8 euro :) Is this correct or what? If so, is that by sea or air?
AntiMario said on November 21, 2002 11:15:
Hey, Thommy, was is alchemiste whom you bought some stuff in Sweden? (I could be wrong). If so all the stuff I guess was re-sold later at funclub :)
You helped them very much with ginza, he-he.
alchemiste said on November 21, 2002 17:39:
@AntiMario
Is there any problem with me doing private deals with others?
And why do you bring it up here? That´s a bit cheap, isn´t it?
Anyway, since you seem to be very interested in my purchases, I´ll gladly inform you that all the stuff Thomas sent to me (once again thanks, Tom!) was either never available at the Fanshop (“Room Service” cassette) or it was already sold out - I happened to miss a few items during the last years. I really do hope you feel better now...
By the way I´ve already ordered my “The Ballad Hits” promo stuff at the Official Fanshop. Does any other place offer these items?
little-miss-sorrow said on November 21, 2002 20:42:
hu, another fanshop discussion. yeah! ;o) of course everyone’s able to order whereever he wants, i just wanted to say i was very happy to find it in the fanshop. it’s cheap, you get an extra photo, you don’t need a credit card and i’m sure they’ll send it soon since they’ve solved most of their problems.
*justmylittleopinion*
m-cvk said on November 21, 2002 20:57:
I agree with you little-miss-sorrow!
And I think that the FC will try to send the books out before Xmas, maybe together with the “after-tourbook”.
Jud (moderator) said on November 21, 2002 21:00:
shall we ask Visa to open a new forum called Fanclub and Fanshop, now that he is at it? ;)
Well , would be nice at least to keep the discussion in one same thread.....
Jud (moderator) said on November 21, 2002 21:28:
I have put a website together with info about the book (price, shipping cost....), so you know where to buy what :P (so far, European Union only).
It is still UNDER CONSTRUCTION, and still adding stuff, so let me know if something is missing, wrong.... (better if you mail it to me at [email protected], thx!!)

Hope this helps sb
Vixzter said on November 21, 2002 21:34:
I can see these threads are developing into a ’who’s better than who’ competition ........ *suggests to Visa* that we have a seperate section for these topics....and then Archive them! ;) coz its all old hat the stuff thats flying about in them ;)
Ramas said on November 22, 2002 11:06:
Referring to FC online shop:
Actually, the online paying system, “Bibit”, cannot work with my credit cards (Visa or MasterCard), eventhough Amazon.com or any other company have no problems with my cards. I tried ordering many items through fanclub over past 2 years, but I had to go to other online shops because of failures of that “Bibit”
alchemiste said on November 22, 2002 21:54:
@Ramas
Please contact Bibit to clear this up.
With my VISA cards, no problems appeared.
steven said on November 22, 2002 22:40:
** Look of shock **
Reviewing this thread... I’m amazed at both the hypocrisy and the level of insults that at aimed at various parties.
@Vixter: You have been so very vocal about the fanclub in the past, in fact down right rude... And now you want to purchase from them!? Incredible.
@Kibkalo: You obviously have strong views against the FC but is it really necessary to sink to that level of name calling?
imazombieinthem... said on November 23, 2002 06:31:
@ alchemiste You didn’t answer my question.. How much is shipping to Australia???
Vixzter said on November 23, 2002 08:10:
@steven - show me where I’ve been rude? I don’t think I have (unlike some!), yes I’ve been vocal but the way i saw it was that things went horribly wrong and I wasn’t the only one to notice. I’ve been assured that things have been sorted out.....I hope I’m not to be disapointed. If you want the reasons as to why I’m ordering from there and if you have a problem with me (as you seem to) then please email me and we’ll sort it out.
LittleGirl78 said on November 23, 2002 11:54:
OK, here come the sweet english :-)
I find the Fanshop is better than before some Month.
If you have question you can call with people from the FC and they answer the question very fast.
And I think the Fanshop want to have a second chance and they get it from me.
I have Order the Discography from the Fanshop and the After-Tourbook I will get it without a Order why I´m a member from the Fanclub. And I think I get it befor Chrismas so I get it a Chrismaspresent from the Fanshop :-)
pietROxette said on November 24, 2002 11:39:
You can check out the front and back cover of the book, plus a picture of the bonus EP on the website of the Roxette Fan Organisation.
Go to the News about RFO section. We also have an official annoluncement from Robert, the author of the book.
We will also sell the discography book, for a great price. However, until we don’t have it on stock, we won’t have the option to order it. That is, we don’t charge your credit card in advance, pretending an item available when it’s not.
llounge said on November 19, 2002 20:46:
Hello, you can all buy the new book The Look for Roxette on the Fanshop http://shop.roxette.nl for only Euro 39,95 plus Euro 8 for postage. And all which order before Dec. 1st, get a photo also.
Great, isn‘t it?? BUY ALL!!!!
